The award is given only to schools receiving Title I funds, a federal program to help students living at or below the poverty line with their educational needs.

“What an honor this is for Broadway. The improvement in student achievement is a result of everyone’s teamwork. Students, teachers, parents, and administrators worked as a team to provide students the academic support that they needed,” said Broadway Elementary principal Susan Wang in a statement released this week. “We are a schoolwide Title I school with a large number of English Learners, and the students deserve to be recognized.”
